IMPPLoVEo WASH|NGMACH|NE- Specification forming part ofL'etter's Patent N0.'413,4'S3,datcd Joly 12,1864.

ToaZZ whom itmayconcern.; Beit known that l', WILLIAM M. DOTY, of g the city, connty,and State of ,New York, have l 'invented a new` and' Improved Washing-Machine 5 and I do herebydeclare that thejfoll lowing is a full, cle r, and exact descriptionV of the same, reference being had to the waecom-A l panhving; drawings. foriningapart of this speciti'oat'iomin whichin l Figure l' represents a transverse vertical section. (if-,my invention when arranged for machine-washing,l Fig. A2 is a similar section of thesame When'arranged for handlwashinigfl Fig. `3 is aplan 'or top View ofthe same. Similarletters oirei'erenceinthe-three views indicate corresponding parts.- o

The object ot' this invention is a mechanism l ally made of marble orother suitable materialiv and permanently xd in those rooms orapartmentsi'nw'hich the Washing is to be aocomfA plislied, saidinechlanism being lprovided with a dash-board, Whichean be used for vpounding or pressing `theclothes, orwhich can vbe fastened infsuchV a position that it can becou- .fveniently used'jn' placent" .the ordinary Washboard.

' Thel nature'of 1n y invention aiadsitsfpecnliar .advantages-will--be ,readily understood from 'the' follovvin g' descriptio 'o -A'representsfa tnb,-made of marble oro'therf sui-'table' materiahrand int-ended` .to be perma- .nentljv fixed inthe room or apartment in which o This'tub is provded'with twopendent arms,'B,zwhich are Y secnredjto the ends-.of the tub'.--by means of pivots a, which'mayrei't'her be madeto pass through. the. ends of the tub or suitable braolti .ets-might bejfastened'tothe-tub toform the i `bearings for thepivots a.. Thenpper. ends of l V tl'le farmsy are furnished [with dovetailedl .'S0cke'ts',,to receive and-retain the handiever U, which serves to impa-rtmotion tothe dash-v l .ets b so that it can-easily beinserted 'orvvithl 1 drawn, as maj7 be'k desired. The dash-'boardl D is firmly-connectedto thearnisl, and itfis set 'in zaninclined position, as clearly shown in Fi;l 1' ofthe drawings, so th'at the same, when it. is brought down, oompresses'the clothes betweenitsgl-ower edge and the side ot' the. tub,l

and at the same' ti'me,'rby the action ofl the'inl clineddash-board, the clothes. are turned over and over automatically, and every part ot' thel same is exposed .tothe action of thewater and,

'of the dash board itself'.V YThe upper part' ot" said dash-lmardv is corrugated, similar to* :in ordinary vhand wash-board, and itjsfprovid cd with ar hook, @,so that it can berfaste'ned to a` loop,f, inserted` into theinside-ofthetub. as clearlyfsh'own in Fig. 2 of the drawings: It the dash-board is 'secured' in this position and the hand-'lever removed, said dashboardonn be -used as van ordinary hand washboard, for, if it is desired -to have the' unobstructed vuse of the tn b, tl1e,` entire washing' mechanism `is taken ont by removing the pivr tsta. lBy theseA means the'washing ot' clothes can be' effected in a stationary-wash.-'tub .eithcrvby'the action of the press'urelboard or in theordinary manner 'of handwashing, Vor the tub .caribe used independent of the 'wzrshingjmechanisnn like al1-ordinary tub. The full benefit of the Wash,- ing-machine can thusbe'obtained-without the .necessity of haring a separatetub, `Whichi's in o My mechanism'is exceedingly simple in -its eonstruct1on.- 'It' can be 'readily :inserted into or removed from' a stationary tub,"'and by taking ont the handle it can .be used for ordig nary hand-Washing.

Y. What -I claimfas new, 'and desire 5to-secure p by Letters Patent, is--' The combination ot-the lpivoted'oseillatin; .,r arms B, inclined "dashboard D, removable handlever (Land stationary1tnbrA,.all con strncted Iand operating in the. manner'and for the-purposes hereinshovn anddescribed.
